The letter was not very long. It didn't take Huang Shi long to read it. Huang Taiji in the letter was still as polite as ever, saying that ever since he heard that Miss Zhao Er was Huang Shi's betrothed wife, he had been treating her warmly and arranged for the two sisters to live in Huang Shi. Living in the old house in Liaoyang, I never dared to lack food and clothing for the two of them. After reading the letter several times, Huang Shi calmly closed it and handed it to Zhao Manxiong, who quickly opened the letter and read it carefully. When Huang Shi was pacing in the room just now, Miss Zhao's eyes never left him. For a moment, after Huang Shi read the letter, she hurriedly asked: "Shuai Huang, are you willing to save my sister's life?" The desolate questioning voice filled the hall. Everyone was speechless for a moment. Huang Shi turned his face slightly and avoided Miss Zhao's sight. Coaxing this twenty-four-year-old girl is not supposed to be too difficult, but Huang Shi couldn't say anything. Seeing that Huang Shi was just silent, Miss Zhao stood up suddenly and knelt at Huang Shi's feet: "Shuai Huang, as long as you are willing to give this little girl a few words, your roommate will be saved." The sad female voice echoed in the room. In the camp, even Zhao Manxiong couldn't help but let his eyes temporarily leave the paper in his hand. His sad little face was full of begging. Her eyes were full of thick expectancy, and she stared at them for a moment. With a smile on Huang Shi's face: "Huang Dashuai, my concubine's brother once worked with you, my concubine's sister" Miss Zhao's shoulders shook as if she had swallowed something back. She took two steps forward and said, "Master Huang, as long as you open your mouth, my roommate will be able to come back alive." The look on Huang Shi's face still did not change at all. He couldn't help a young girl from a good family, so he asked He took a step aside and said, "Mrs. Chen will definitely consider it carefully if you invite me." "Master Bu Huang." Miss Zhao grabbed the hem of Huang Shi's clothes and uniform. Tears rolled down from the young woman's face: " Sir, even if you don't agree, my sister can survive as long as you give her a note to prove that she is indeed your betrothed wife." Huang Shi didn't struggle, but Miss Zhao tightened her grip on his clothes. The knuckles of her two little hands were turning white. She didn't bother to wipe the tears streaming down her face and just kept sobbing: " Mr. Huang. Just a note from you is enough. Just a note is enough. ." There was silence in the camp. Hong Antong and Li Yunrui both looked at Huang Shi at a loss, but Zhao Manxiong seemed to lose interest all of a sudden after hearing this plea and looked down at the letter again. "Master Huang's concubine is only twenty years old. You can save her life with just one word." Miss Zhao was still kneeling on the ground begging and pleading, and her hands on Huang Shi's clothes were clenched tighter and tighter: "Master Huang, are you really going to save her life?" Do you want to die without saving me? Are you really so hard-hearted?" After saying this, Huang Shi remained unmoved. The exhausted girl finally collapsed. She let go of her hands and fell limply in front of Huang Shi's feet, slapping her hands on the ground and crying. "But Mr. Huang, you have saved so many people. There are millions of people in Guangning and tens of thousands of lives in Juehua. Countless people have been saved by Mr. Huang in the past few years. How can you be such a hard-hearted person?" How is this possible? " "When did our family offend you and you became so stingy to our family?" Miss Zhao shook her head desperately. She couldn't figure out the reason behind this, and finally she just lay on the ground and cried loudly. The miserable sound made several people except Huang Shi and Zhao Manxiong feel their intestines almost break. After a while, Huang Shi silently waved his hand to Li Yunrui to take the unconscious Miss Zhao down. He said softly to the unconscious Miss Zhao: "Madam Chen, I have always respected your sister's spirit." "It is absolutely impossible to write a letter asking the slaves to be released. There is no room for discussion." Huang Shi's words aroused a chorus of agreement and agreement. Zhao Manxiong and Jin Qiude, who are now participating in the discussion, all understand that if Huang Shi If you really do this, it will not only give the enemy room to use excuses, but it will also make the world look down upon you. A person who is labeled as "loyalty over justice" will probably never escape. "And even if I wrote this letter, I guess I might not be able to get her back." Huang Shi had already done some analysis just now. If Houjin really felt that Miss Zhao Er was a rare commodity, they would definitely not let her go. At present, opponents must think that Miss Zhao Er has no weight in Huang Shi's heart. Huang Shi's past performance - whether in Guangning or Juehua, proves that marrying a wife has almost no place in Huang Shi's heart. They are trying to take advantage of Miss Zhao's identity. Just make some articles. "Miss Chen always looks at problems too superficially, or she grasps the life-saving straw and refuses to let go. She also doesn't think that if I publicly declare that her sister is my betrothed wife, Miss Zhao Er will not end well. Because torturing her is humiliating me. Huangshi currently claims that he wants peace talks, which may not be a big deal, but once the peace talks break down, Miss Zhao Er is willing to? was the first victim. " "What your Excellency said is absolutely true. " Zhao Manxiong and Jin Qiude responded in unison. They also believed that it would be better for the hostages to maintain the current ambiguous situation of no recognition or denial. After Huang Shi's overall discussion was over, Jin Qiude said first: " It's just that if there is no Yuan Gouguan, we can drag this matter out. But now that Yuan Gouguan and Jian Nu are working together perfectly, we probably can't drag it out for too long. " Yuan Chonghuan has already started to make a fuss about the last time Huang Shi kidnapped the envoy to the capital. This time, there is no need to think about Miss Zhao. Yuan Chonghuan will definitely make trouble again and pretend to be righteous and awe-inspiring to apply eye drops to Huang Shi. " Yes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain. The ancients were honest and never deceived. "Huang Shi sighed that Yuan Chonghuan was holding him back. It became very difficult for him to deal with Huang Taiji's offensive. If it were just a normal enemy rumor, Huang Shi would have been able to put it out with ease, but now there is a man with evil intentions. It would be very troublesome for Hou Jin to add fuel to the flames. What hurts Huang Shitou the most is that he has not been able to effectively counterattack Yuan Chonghuan's report because the other party has been holding high the banner of "fighting for Huang Shi." If Huang Shitou goes to trouble Yuan Chonghuan, it will be far away. It is impossible to say that he is "small-minded" before he hurts his opponent. Now Huangshi's impression in Tianqi's mind is already in jeopardy. Many officials are still asking Huangshi to kill his wife. Di Wu Qi made a comparison. If Huang Shi just ignored it, Huang Shi's reputation would be greatly harmed, and the rumors in the past would become more credible. This situation reminded Huang Shi of the trap Zhao Manxiong set on the Zhao family. No matter what the opponent chooses, Huang Shi made an analogy and said, "Feng Shui has changed, and now I always jump into other people's pits no matter how I deal with it. " Zhao Manxiong shrugged. He said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Since it is a plan, of course it is necessary to use this kind of plan. The slave chief is not an easy person to deal with. It would be an insult to our eyesight to be like the storyteller on the roadside and find some counter-intuitive plot that can be seen through at a glance and then burn incense and pray that others will act like fools and not understand. It also insulted the intelligence of the civil and military officials of the Ming and Manchu dynasties. ¡± Originally, there was another solution, which was to kick the ball to others, that is, to report the matter to the Liaodong Dusi Mansion or the imperial court. No matter how the above-mentioned solution was solved, Huang Shitou would not be blamed. But Huang Taiji also put this matter in advance. The road was blocked by Huang Shi. He threatened in the letter that if he did not receive a letter from Huang Shi within a short period of time, it would mean that Huang Shi did not recognize Miss Zhao Er as his betrothed wife. However, Huang Shi believed that this threat was quite false, even if it was true. Putting it into action can only be the last resort: "The slave chief is probably a bluff and such a good attack method that they are definitely not willing to destroy it easily. But they did it just in case if I did kick the ball. They can still label me as a person who refuses to save me until death, and they will never let me escape easily. " "What your Excellency said is absolutely true. " Zhao Manxiong and Jin Qiude both lowered their heads in thought. Huang Shi waited for a while and neither of them came up with any more opinions or opinions. Huang Shi clapped his hands and ordered: "Okay, I'll end it today and give you one day to go." We will discuss the countermeasures tomorrow. I know time is a little tight, but I have no choice but to do it now that we don't have time to wait. " "As you command, my lord. " After dinner, Huang Shi brought a few gadgets to see He Dingyuan. By the end of last month, He Dingyuan's son had turned one year old. When Huang Shi walked to He Dingyuan's door, he saw his general holding his son in his arms and sitting in the field. Li Zheng didn't know what he was telling his child. As soon as Huang Shi took out the rattle and other things from his arms, the child's eyes widened and he stretched out his chubby hands to ask Huang Shi to bend down and put the toys there with his own hands. The boy then sat next to his father and started talking about family affairs. He Dingyuan went to Li Yunrui that night to apologize. The next day, Li Yunrui came to tell Huang Shi that he had forgiven He Dingyuan. If he doesn't forgive, he won't be able to rest quietly at home or even think about sleeping. After defeating the "Devil King" Li Yunrui, the relationship between Yang Zhiyuan and Mrs. Xiong seems to be returning to normal. Since the rain between the two of them has cleared up, He Dingyuan has been treating Li Yunrui. I started to feel really sorry. When I was chatting with Huang Shi today, He Dingyuan also said that if he had the chance, he would be a matchmaker for Li Yunrui to make up for the mistakes he had made. ¡°I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t be a matchmaker for Li Yunrui. He is now famous on Changsheng Island. . Huang Shi joked while coaxing He Dingyuan's son to play with a smile: "I think you'd better have a daughter as soon as possible and marry Brother Li." " "I won't marry him even if I have a daughter! ¡± The two gradually began to talk.After listening to Huang Shi explaining everything about today, He Dingyuan also fell silent. Huang Shi, who was bored, picked up a hand of small stones and threw them one by one at the ducks on the beach, driving them away and making them croak and scream. Splash. After a long time. He Dingyuan said loudly behind Huang Shi: "If you can save people by writing a letter, I think it's better to write one." "I know it's useless" "But I have a clear conscience." Although He Dingyuan was sitting on the ground, he said The words are still full of energy: "Otherwise, you will regret it in the future. You will recall this incident all your life and doubt the judgment you make now; 'Did I save a life by just writing a few lines that time?' Sir, save people." One life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Huangshi paused for a moment and then threw all the stones in his hand. There was a loud noise on the seaside: "Well, you are right. If I am punished for this." Put a blame on it? " "My lord, at most you will be splashed with dirty water once, but Miss Zhao Er may lose a life, the severity is very different" "Besides, even if I have nothing to do today. In the future, I will inevitably ask myself: If I had written a note that day, it would have been nothing serious. Is it right? " "My lord, you have a clear warning. " Huang Shi and He Dingyuan were silent for a while. They could only hear the babbling of He Dingyuan's son. The little guy was completely immersed in his own world. He couldn't understand what the adults were saying at all. "The adults are responsible for the safety of Liaonan. It's not the subordinates' turn to intervene as to how to choose, it's just the adults who have questions. Subordinates dare not speak out. "He Dingyuan hugged his son into his arms again. After finishing the work of training the troops every day, he always went home to enjoy the happiness of human relations with his wife and children, and rarely got distracted by official duties: "Sir, if you have any questions, please don't. You can ask Brother Zhao and Brother Jin, both of whom are very thoughtful. " "Yes. But I also want to hear your opinion. "Huang Shi turned around and gently stroked He Xiaozi's head. The child looked up at Huang Shi, then turned around and glanced at his father, then lowered his head and concentrated on playing with the toys in his hand. The next day Huang Shi touched Zhao again. Man Xiong and Jin Qiude called in to discuss the matter. Only righteousness can destroy relatives! " Before Huang Shi could ask Zhao Manxiong, he hesitated and uttered a sentence softly. " Fart! "Huang Shi cursed loudly before Zhao Manxiong could finish. Zhao Manxiong thought hard all night and came up with such a shabby idea. Fortunately, he had the nerve to say it out. If he could kill his relatives with justice, what else would Huang Shi want from Zhao Manxiong? But Huang Shi also lost his composure for a moment. He raised his hand to apologize and then took a breath to slow down his voice: "I still want to kill my relatives out of justice. I have already killed a father-in-law, an eldest brother, a wife, a betrothed wife, The savior's family is about to destroy another betrothed wifeBrother Zhao, I, Huang Shi, are human beings! Not an animal! I can't catch anyone and kill anyone. " "But we have absolutely no way to control this matter and we must not control it. "Zhao Manxiong lowered his head as he spoke, but still said: "Your Excellency, it is clear that as long as we intervene in this matter, there will be endless troubles. " Huang Shi immediately retorted: "If you don't intervene, there will be endless troubles. " Zhao Manxiong raised his head and argued: "That's better than intervening. At most, the adults can go to the capital camp or stay in the south for a few years. Things will become clear over time. According to our old practice in the Ming Dynasty, the battalion soldiers have always mobilized with the generals to move two battalions of military households on Changsheng Island, plus four battalions for fire fighting and Panshi. Northern barbarians, southern barbarians, eastern Japanese, and western barbarians are always making trouble one after another. If you have military power, why worry about the day when they will not rise again? " Huang Shi knew that what Zhao Manxiong said was right, but he still couldn't make up his mind. When the latter saw this, he said anxiously: "Sir, you must not interfere with this matter, otherwise I will worry that my reputation will be ruined. " Just as Huang Shi was pondering, Jin Qiude suddenly shouted from the other side: "Your Majesty, I have an idea that can help you avoid danger. " "Oh~? " "My lord, from the perspective of my subordinates, the only option is to kill people and silence them!" " Kill someone, kill an innocent person, kill an innocent woman, kill an innocent young woman who once favored Huangshi. Jin Qiude said this idea as if he was saying that killing a chicken is as simple as killing a chicken. There was no hesitation or excitement at all. He shouted loudly He expressed his own opinion: "We might as well say that Miss Chen was exhausted when she arrived at Changsheng Island and didn't say anything. We took the body back to Juehua and gave it to her brother. We might as well let Miss Chen hide it close to her body. Zhao Yingong found out that if he had to worry about it in the future, he would be the one to do it and it had nothing to do with us. " "This is a great plan." Before Huang Shi could react, Zhao Manxiong praised him: "My lord, if the Zhao family doesn't want us to write a letter, nothing will happen. If they want us to write a letter, my lord can write it openly, regardless of success or failure. Everyone can only praise adults for understanding the general situation and the big picture.He did not hesitate to harm his reputation for the sake of civil and military harmony. " "As long as the adults approve, my subordinates will go and get things done." "Chief of Staff Jin Qiude then took out a document, which listed the list of people who had contacted Zhao Da in the past two days. After that, there were all kinds of rhetoric that Jin Qiude had designed. As for the cause of death and related certificates, he arranged it. It's perfect. In this way, Huang Shi can safely kick the ball to the Liaodong Dusi Mansion. Zhao Manxiong seriously reviewed Jin Qiude's plan and bowed to Huang Shi and said, "My lord, if you act like this, the slave chief will treat Zhao Er." Even if the girl is not in a good position, we can push her away because we don¡¯t know anything. It was completely reasonable for Mrs. Chen to hide the secret message close to her body. It would have been even more reasonable if we didn't reveal it. No one could say a word about it, sir. " After the two subordinates finished speaking, they looked at Huangshi with bright eyes.
